MySQL Moves to Prime Time

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the can't-beat-the-real-thing dept.

MagLev writes "MySQL, especially version 5.0, is popping up on the radar screens of database gurus who built their reputations and book sales using other SQL databases. Ken North, who did those ODBC performance benchmarks for Oracle, Sybase, and DB2, wrote a recent article about MySQL 5.0. The article profiles mission critical database software and discusses how well MySQL 5.0 fits the profile. It gives good marks to MySQL, except for Java and XML integration."

    Well, I don't read the articles at all. I just wait to hear what Tripmaster Monkey has to say, that's enough for me.

    Slashdot is using CSS. It's so polished.

    Totally off-topic, I know. But it just struck me for some reason (cognac may have had something to do with it).
